Don't be put off by all that on the other page, you do a great job with the GIFT of sooooo many user tracks. I looked thru IK terms and could not see anything about samples it was all about the software it's self not what you use it for. What J.Ford said it's like using the sample sound from any midi keyboard you have purchased.

Should I not use Amplitube on my midi or wav files and upload as a user track ?

If you buy some tubes of paint and paint a picture and give it away the receiver can't take the paint off and put it back in the different tubes to make new paintings of his own - if he wants to make a new different painting he will have to buy some tubes - you are not giving away the tubes just the painting.

And you are gonna quit making UserTracks because of that? Or, were you thinking there might be some validity to my concerns?

I was actually hoping PG would step in and provide us with some sort of assurance that they had checked this out and that it was OK to do.

I apologize if I offended you; that certainly was not my intent!! You really shouldn't quit based on my comments! laugh

Frank,

You've done a great job over the years! There is no-one on these forums who is more experienced than you when it comes to the creation of User Tracks. There's also no-one else of these forums who has been so very generous with what they've done. You've been amazing.

I wasn't aware of its existence before but I've just read through the page of 'turmoil' you're referring to and I can only imagine how your feeling given all the work you've done and the creations you've made freely available to so many. You're going to be missed by a lot of people.

Best wishes,
Noel

I certainly hope you don't stop making User Tracks. Your selflessness in this area has been extraordinary.

Please don't let other comments dissuade you. If there has not been any issue previously, why might there be an issue now?

Regards

Trevor

Frank,

Thanks a lot for all your efforts and I have quite a few of your user tracks in my biab.

So sad that you feel the need to stop doing it, you only wanted to help everyone, and then someone whether intentional or not has managed to scare the S""t out of you for your efforts.

Some nice people on this forum eh?

As I have said on the other page If anyone is worried:
"Okay in that case just upload the midi file user track and I will use them in any of the vsti's I own - that way I can add key switches anywhere I like to get the sound I like - same with user track drums I can change the kit and re-mix it.
So you would only need to save your midi user track to an mgu then I just render your midi file to a wav/wma along with the mgu/sgu in the user track folder."

This way you can also transpose the midi first to what you want then use it on any vsti you like as there are so many free ones.

Here's just one
http://www.dskmusic.com/ 100% Royalty Free for any use.

If you have Kontakt there's plenty of free instruments for that also.

Hi seeker, although I have not downloaded all of your usertracks, cause some of them are not what I'm looking for, I use many of them. Please keep up your good work, would you? Thanks a lot anyway.

if you are put off by negative comments in the forum you can just create a listing on your site http://www.mp3cloud.mobi/usertracks.html or http://www.mp3cloud.mobi/usertracks/index.html

you have all your tracks in the root folder http://www.mp3cloud.mobi
if you remove the index.html temporally (index.html.org) this will give you a list of all your tracks you have uploaded when the page in viewed that you can copy and paste the html links list to the new user track html page you create and simply add to that as you go.
This way all the users that enjoy and use your tracks can just go straight to your new page thus avoiding any comments that can put you off creating new user tracks.

Hope this helps - looking forward to the new page smile

I think legitimate questions were asked. There is nothing wrong with asking the questions. Personally, unless I'm looking at the wrong thread, I didn't see anything offensive asked or the even the way it was asked.

I would just keep making them. If the powers that be step in at some point, then you have your answer. If they never do, then you have your answer. smile

To me, stopping because a question was asked makes it look like you maybe have your doubts. If you do, then by all means stop. If you don't, then why would you stop?

Thanks for all of your work either way!

Just to close this thread on a positive, knowledge dispels fear.
This was asked to IK:
I would like to use SampleTank to save my midi files to wav loops that others can use.

"If you are using the loops for performance or creation of songs, that is certainly ok...
If you are not looking to sell or create them as a library to eventually sell, you are ok to use the loops for music making."

Really like the combination of the historic vintage pictures with your “old style Jazz”. While this is not my favorite kind of music to listen to, I’ve played piano in a few Dixie Land Bands on and off for some time that help me earn some extra pocket change. Also, much of the time, I found it fun playing with some great players. So when I say admire how you tastefully you put this together, I say so from experience. Thanks for sharing “Enough Said”

Atze

PS You made this real Track? Wow Even more impressed!
